That is SO awesome- love that idea Christi!
I had a really fun idea for a crazy cheap and spontaneous date night! I made my fiance his favorite meal and I put it in the office. I went to the dollar store and I bought 2 water guns. I taped his to the door filled with water with a note that said *There is chicken pot pie in the office. In order to get it you have to get through me. You will need this. Good luck.* He walked in and I just nailed him with my own water gun. We had a blast, even though it was a pain to clean up it was so fun and we laughed about it all night!
I hate to be a downer for date #21, but feeding ducks bread, is actually very bad for them. For ducklings who live in an area that they are routinely fed bread, they may never learn to find food on their own. This is especially prominent in areas where the ducks are fed very often. Bread and most other items that humans tend to feed ducks holds no nutritional value to them, and should be refrained from.
There are some foods that can be fed to ducks, like grapes and defrosted pees, but I would recommend not feeding ducklings anything so that you ensure that they’ll be able to find their own food.
So no feeding ducks bread, but you’ll feed them pee? =P
I use this great app that my husband made android phones called “Love Your Husband”b which has suggestions for loving your spouse according to their “Love Language”, the paid version (only $.99) also has fantastic date ideas!!! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.peakmobiledesigns.loveyourhusband&feature=search_result
My husband and I really enjoy cooking together, and then sitting down with a movie, or playing a game together! Gets us talking and with a game, some friendly competition!
